How should we approach this topic...

Purity rings and true love waits were a part of their young adult years. They both had purity rings and both adv...

Send a text Ep. 011 - Do you find yourself struggling to be a girl of the Word instead of the world? Kristen and Bethany have found themselves in that place many times.

And that should radically change eve...

Send a text Ep. 010  - The struggle to get into God's Word on a daily basis is real. It seems like there are a million distractions and things pulling us away from being quiet before God.

Instead of continuing on with the same plan (or no plan) and...

Send a text 007 - A recent cover of Vogue featured Harry Styles wearing a dress. Yes, a dress. Is this a big deal or is it not? We see people responding on both ends of the spectrum.

The goal of today's episode isn't to discuss personal o...

Send a text 006 - The words "biblical womanhood" often bring up a variety of thoughts and opinions with them. Thoughts like, "biblical womanhood turns you into a wimpy doormat" or "biblical womanhood assumes you are less valuable than a man." Although those thoughts might be popular to believe, they are definitely not from God's Word. In today's episode, Kri...

Send a text 004 - Most Christian girls feel like they are fighting the battle for purity on their own. The church is silent on the topic and other Christian women are silent as well.

Send a text 002 - Have you ever thought to yourself, “if only I were prettier then I’d be happy?” Or, “if only guys would notice me, then I wouldn't be insecure?” Or, “if only I had more followers on social media, then I’d have influence?” In a culture that idolizes physical beauty, romantic relationships and success, it’s tempting for us, as Christian girls, to find our identity in these thi...

Send a text 001 - The pressure to measure up to an impossible standard of womanhood is something Kristen and Bethany have faced over and over again. Most girls have an internal checklist that they’re trying to find their identity and worth through. Whether it’s being perfectly skinny, getting married by a certain age, or having cellulite-free legs, most girls have an image of womanhood that they’r...
